When ‘Guitar Hero’ came out, I was interested, but the game didn’t hook me. Sure it’s fun, but it just felt like ‘Parapa the Rapper’ with a different controller and without all the whimsy. Not until ‘Rock Band’ hit did music games...

Hulu Plus was officially announced yesterday, and I have to admit that I’m a fan. Shelling out another $9.99 a month is a bummer, but once the service hits a device I own, I’ll be more than happy to do it.

After a difficult month primarily occupied by games we wouldn’t ever consider renting, let alone purchasing, this week is the payoff. Is it enough to make up for a lackluster couple of weeks? Not really. But it’s a start.

It’s contest time, folks! Do you love videogames? Do you love comedy? Do you just plain love winning stuff? We’re giving away the entire 6-disc DVD set of ‘Red vs. Blue,’ and it couldn’t be any simpler to get it. All we want is fo...

August 8th of 1999 was a tragic day for me. That’s the day that the final ‘Mystery Science Theater 3000’ aired. I thought that the idea of riffing on movies was gone for good. But now it’s back and in fine form. Instead of picking...
